Capo on first

INTRO:   A  F#m  A  F#m  A  F#m  A   F#m    Bsus4   B    Bsus4    B


E
  I know you broke up with him and you're heart's still on the shelf
                                        Bsus4              B
It's been over two years for me and I'm still not quite myself
C#m                                         D               A
    You can't be with someone new and you can't go back to him
C#m                                        D            B
    You're beginning to realize that it's sink or swim


E
  I see you around sometimes and my heart just melts
                                           Bsus4           B
Lookin' like if you had your wish you'd be somewhere else
C#m                                         D            A
    And it just breaks my heart to see you here this way
C#m                                     D             B
    Someday I'll get the nerve to walk up to you and say


              E            G#m                 A
This is the last worthless evening that you'll have to spend
     B                                  A      E
Just gimme a chance to show you how to love again
             E             G#m                 A
This is the last worthless evening that you'll have to spend
      F#m                      A             Bsus4         B 
Cause I'll be there when your broken heart is on the mend


E
  Every night it's the same old crowd in a smoky room
                                                  Bsus4         B
You catch a faint glimpse of love sometimes but it never blooms
C#m                                D          A
    I've been around this block a time or two
C#m                                              D             B
    And I've made some big mistakes but girl I promise you, I promise you


              E            G#m                 A
This is the last worthless evening that you'll have to spend
      B                                 A      E
Just gimme a chance to show you how to love again
             E             G#m                 A
This is the last worthless evening that you'll have to spend
          F#m                     A             Bsus4    B
Cause it won't be long till your little heart is on the mend



A  F#m  A  F#m  A  F#m  A   F#m    Bsus4   B    Bsus4    B

    ( Time time ticking ticking ticking away... )


E
  People inside their houses with the shades pulled down
                                           Bsus4            B
God knows we could use some romance in this sleepy bedroom town
C#m                                         D        A
    I know you're still afraid to rush into anything
C#m                                                     D           B
    But there's just so many summers, babe and just so many springs


                 E             G#m                 A
And this is the last worthless evening that you'll have to spend, babe
      B                                          A      E
Just gimme a chance, gimme a chance to show you love again
             E             G#m                 A
This is the last worthless evening that you'll have to spend
          F#m                     A             Bsus4        B
Cause it won't be long till your little heart is on the mend


           E     G#m            A
Heyyyyyyyyy   Uh uh that you'll have to spend
      B                                        A         E
Just gimme a chance to show you how to love again and again
             E             G#m                 A
This is the last worthless evening that you'll have to spend
          F#m                     A             Bsus4        B
Cause it won't be long till your broken heart is on the mend    (fade out)
